Question

(Refer to steps 2.1-2.6) An experimenter sets up a microscope with a 5.33 mm objective lens. The object distance between the object and the center of the objective lens, d0 = 5.51 mm. What is The image distance (units required) between the objective lens and the image created by the objective, di = The tube length (units required) L = The lateral magnification of the objective M0 = If an eyepiece of focal length 125 mm is used, what is the magnifying power of this microscope? Calculated microscope magnifying power:

Explanation / Answer

for objective lens ::

focal length = f = 5.33 mm

object distance = do = 5.51 mm

Using the lens equation ::

1/do + 1/di = 1/f

1/5.51 + 1/di = 1/5.33

di = 163.2 mm

focal length of eye piece = fe = 125 mm

tube length , L = di - f = 163.2 - 5.33 = 157.87 mm

magnification is given as ::

Mo = -di/do= -163.2 / 5.51 = -29.62

for eye piece ::

focal length of eye piece = fe = 125 mm

object distance = 125 mm

so using lens equation

1/fe = 1/do + 1/di

1/125 = 1/125 + 1/di

di = infinity

distance between the two lenses , d = di + fe = 163.2 + 125 = 288.2 mm

m = (L/fo )(1 + d/fe)

m = (157.87/5.33) (1 + 288.2/125)

m = 97.91
